Hot topic...perhaps. Important topic...yes. Timely topic...well how do you know when is the RIGHT time? Should sex education be taught at school or at home?
What grade is the right grade to talk sex? How young is too young? You want your kids to be informed about their bodies but you don't want your kid to be the one telling all the other kids the story of the birds and bees at recess. ?
I went to Catholic school. And our sex education class (grade 8) consisted of the female librarian pulling the girls out of class, asking us to write any body related questions on a piece of paper (no names thank you) and put them in a glass jar for sorting and answering. We didn't know anything...so there weren't any questions to ask. Ignorance must have been bliss for that librarian. ?
I wonder...do schools let you know if they are teaching sex ed? (I don't know...anyone?)
